Abstract: Employees #1 through #7 and coworkers in warehouse #900 began sorting and organizing by hand a shipment of pesticides in containers of questionable integrity. They became overwhelmed by the fumes and complained to the shift supervisor, who sent them back to work. Employee #1 then bypassed the supervisor and notified Security, who in turn notified Management. Management ordered the evacuation of personnel and notified the appropriate emergency response teams. Employees #1 through #7 were hospitalized after experiencing headaches, nausea, dizziness, and disorientation.
